Default Re: What kind of banana

I had a Hua Moa fruit about 2 months ago and it looked identical.
I left mine on the tree until they started to turn yellow, then I cut the whole bunch down. I ate them as they turned yellow.

They are indeed a Salmon orange color inside and I left them get quite ripe and they have turned into one of my favorites. I DID NOT try to cook them. I found that the riper they got, the better they tasted. My suggestion is to let one get yellow and try it. Then let another one get more ripe until you find the flavor you like. It took about 2 weeks for all of them to ripen which was good as it spread them out. One thing I did notice was that the very core where the seeds would be was tough and I cut it out.

I think you will really like them.

And I always let my clumps grow about 5-6 trunks from fruiting size to about a foot tall and they all fruit fine - just fertilize and water them.
